    I knew what you were getting at... perhaps that's his prefered method of transport (the three headed pooch, not the Grand Caravan)!

    I once paid to have a car hauled away. I can't imagine how much worse it must feel to have a car company hauled away.

    The only thing Chrysler does near decent (of any volume) are the 3/4 & 1 ton pickups with the Cummings engine, and I'd never buy one of them because of the horror stories everyone has about the rest of the vehicle.
    To do list: carpet X1, seatcovers X1

    My sister is on her second Grand Caravan and it has been pretty reliable. Only issue has been dead batteries which I think was premature but not horrible.

    The nice thing is the features. They have lots of neat conveniences but my sister's minivans have always been pretty loaded.
    ...and across the line.

    First of all... there isn't a "g" in Cummins...

    Second... my 3/4 ton has been running for 130K and going strong. Mine went through final assembly at the St. Louis plant (not the one in Mexico) and it's been great.

    Are you sure? I was just checking the Pay-Per-View and saw it spelled with a "g" all over the movie titles on the Playboy Channel.

    Down there it would be the San Louis plant! Easily mistaken!!
